( I never complain and I am aware I am in Asia and don’t have high expectations what so ever and by that I mean that I know I’m not in my home country so the culture and the behaviour of locals will differ and this is my 3rd sleeper bus this week and the others have been completely fine) I just wanted to say to avoid this company when booking your sleeper bus ( tuan Trinh) I got picked up earlier today ( they were late but that’s not an issue ) it has been raining really bad and when I gave them my backpack to put onto the bus the driver pushed me out of the way and I nearly fell and again I didn’t say anything. I then got onto the bus and asked where my seat was and the driver just pointed straight I then just chose a random bed and he started shouting at me and said “ no “ without telling me where to actually go. The drivers here also beep a lot however this driver was constantly beeping every second and if you’re right at the front you will not get ANY sleep. We then stopped for a toilet break and after 3 minutes the driver starts shouting at everyone to come back bear in mind some ladies might take longer in the toilet etc. and lastly, there are children on this bus and the driver is driving and smoking cigarettes. I’m only about 4 hours into my journey and still have about 8 more left. Just wanted to warn everyone as it’s definitely made me feel out of place and I feel like I have to tip toe around them as I’m worried they will shout at me again lol.

This is normal in Vietnam so just face it. It is a different culture and since we are visiting we should accept it. The staff (buses, hostels, bars, restaurants) very often are loud, rude, and sometimes arrogant. And all of this is only because they are new to working with foreigners, it is not personal against you. They will learn in some 10-20 years. Besides the staff-customer relationship everything else in Vietnam is pretty good though and people are very nice and friendly if they don’t have to sell you anything or to provide you with any service.
How scary
Yeah the low class people tend to do this. Really disgusting.
I’m sorry you are going through this. It is definitely not acceptable the he smokes on the bus. I hope you will be able to find a better service provider.
Isn’t your berth written on your ticket?
Fyi you could have booked an hour and a half flight at half that fare
He probably had enough of white people, get that in australia aswell when white people have had enough of a specific culture or people, except in Australia they will probably spit on you
Please next time use good companies to travel by bus for example futa bus.
